MECHANICAL MOVEMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 433,568, dated August5, 1890.

Application filed January 23, 1890= T0 ctZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HOSEA H. HUNTLEY, of Quincy, in the county of Adamsand State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Mechanical Movements; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame.

My invention relates to an improved mechanical movement, and moreparticularly to such as are capable of use in presses for baling hay andother material.

The object is to provide a mechanical movement adapted to be operated byhorse-power and having a reciprocating plunger, whereby the device isrendered capable of use in connection with hay or other presses,

With this object in view my invention consists in certain novel featuresof construction and peculiar combinations and arrangement of parts, ashereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

I11 the accompanying drawings,Figure l is a plan view of the device.Fig. 2 is a section on the line 0 00 of Fig 1.

A indicates a base-block of any suitable material having a recess arunning from end to end thereof, preferably at one side of the center ofthe block. An offset 1) is made in the recess a, and a plunger 0 isloosely mounted on the offset in the recess a and.

adapted to have a longitudinal sliding movement, being held undertension and normally retracted and held against the cam by means of aspring Z, attached at one end to the plunger and at the other to thebase. A projection 0 is made on the under face of the plunger C, at ornear its center, for the reception of one end of the spring Z, asuitable pin being provided to retain said spring in engage ment withthe projection. Secured upon the top face of the plunger is a block D,having an arm cZ projecting therefrom over a portion of the plunger,thus producing a recess (Z, in which a roller E is journaled, theperiphery of said roller projecting slightly beyond the end of the shortarm (Z.

A wheel F is placed upon the base-block A, and'apinE' is made to projectloosely through Serial No. 337,784 (No model.)

a perforation made in the center of an S- shaped cam G, which is securedto and ex tends across said wheel. The wheel F is preferably secured tothe top of the cam G, at the ends of the latter, so that the extremitiesof the outer edge of said cam will extend out nearly to the periphery ofthe Wheel.

Secured upon the base-block A, near the periphery of the Wheel F, is aseries of four or more brackets II, having perforations near their topsfor the reception of pins h, which latter are adapted to serve asbearings for a series of anti-friction rollers h. Two stand ards I arelocated between the ends of the S-shaped cam G and the wheel F, andserve as supports for abeam orlever .I. The beam or lever J is securedon the tops of the wheel F, over the standards I, and projects laterally from one of them and beyond the baseblock A, whereby means areprovided for the attachment of a horse or other power for rotating thewheel F and its cam G.

The device being constructed as above set forth, and assuming that theplunger is at one extremity of its throw, it will be seen that if thewheel is rotated the cam will engage the roller E of plunger 0 and forcethe plunger in the direction of the article or material being pressedand against the force of the spring Z. The continued rotation of thewheel will cause the end of the arm G to pass the roller E, and thusrelease the plunger, when the plunger will be retracted to its originalposition by means of the spring Z, assisted by the expansion of thematerial under compression. The speed at which the plunger isreciprooated may be easily regulated by the speed at which the wheel Fis rotated.

It is evident that slight changes might be resorted to in the form andarrangement of the several parts described without departing from thespirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to limitmyself to the particular construction herein set forth; but,

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with a base having thereon anti-friction rollers, awheel revolu bly supported in proximity to and adapted to cam carried bythe Wheel and engaging the bear on the rollers, and a lever for rotatingroller on the plunger, and a spring for retractthe wheel,of a plungerand a cam carried by ing the plunger, substantially as set forth. thewheel for actuating the plunger, and a In testimony whereof I havesigned this 5 spring for retracting the plunger, substanspecification inthe presence of two subscrib- 15 tially as set forth. ing Witnesses. 4

2. The combination, with a base having a I-IOSEA H. HUNTLEY. channeltherein, a plunger located in said Witnesses: channel, and a roller onsaid plunger, of a GEORGE (J. MOCRONE,
